[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is a common sight in Guatemala to see people carrying loads on their backs, whether it be furniture, firewood, or their children. We spotted this man in Antigua. I like the vivid color of the wall behind him, which is also common in this town.

Dave,
It’s a tough life he’s got. I complain when I have to carry more than 2 bags of grocery into my house. Great catch of the moment. Good clarity and sharpness. Great color of the wall as your backdrop. If you have a high enough resolution file, you should consider cropping the top off some more that will enlarge the person for a stronger impact, and you’re not loosing much of the background. Congratulations!
Way

Hello Dave. A good and worth seeing snapshot in the middle from the life. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

A good and interesting picture. Also well framed, with no disturbing elements
Regards Stefano

Hi Dave,
A picture is better than a thousand words - a concept made perfect by this image. Wow, the badly weathered and age worn wall provides a stunning background for this burden laden Guatemalan about his simple life in the slow lane. Really glad you got this one and thanks for sharing with the world. Looking forward to many more shots from this amazing place. Gerald
